Title: A couple I didn't break.
Post by: bowtarist on September 06, 2011, 09:34:46 pm

Had a chance to sit down for a bit this evening and came up w/ two that'll work.  Still breakin' a bunch, but usually because I miss hit it or hit too hard.  Nice lookin' stone anyway.

Thanks for the comments guys.  I'm going for function more than asthetics right now.  I need something to haft and shoot.  I figure as I get the function down, the good looks will begin to take shape too.  My left leg is all brusied up, I'm gonna have to change my percussion angle or something, get a thicker pad maybe.  ::)  A few brusies arn't gonna stop me though.  >:D

Do you have a grain scale? I shoot 100 grain. Others like 125. I think at 10 or 15 yards those would work.
